Critical

Severity Rating: Critical - Revision Note: V1.1 (May 13, 2009): Corrected the entry in the Affected Software table for "Bulletins Replaced by this Update" and the SMS detection and deployment information for the PowerPoint Viewer 2003 (KB969615) update. Also removed an erroneous footnote from the Affected Software table pertaining to security updates KB969618 and KB957789 for supported versions of Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. This is an informational change only. There were no changes to detection or to the files included in this update.Summary: This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability and several privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office PowerPoint that could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted PowerPoint file. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
